Well, adding consistent axioms often allows proving more thing, but that in itself does not necessarily mean it's more useful, and certainly not that proofs are easier -- that, I believe, was the question. For example, adding the axiom 1/0 = 0 is consistent with ordinary arithmetics, and also allows you to prove more things (e.g. that 1/0 = 0), but is not necessarily useful and not necessarily helpful.
